Maywood

Maywood is a neighborhood in the Gateway Cities and is known as the smallest neighborhood ruled by a family in Los Angeles. After a massive fire burned all of the houses and homes there, the neighborhood when being rebuilt became something of a concrete jungle. Inside the city, there are multiple ways across the city, and because of all the paths from building to building many children born there have never even stepped on the ground floor. It's a breeding ground for crime and violence, and most of the inhabitants are people that were outcasted by society or are fleeing jail time. The sheer density of all the buildings there and all the pathways inbetween block out the sun if you're standing on the ground floor. On the roads themselves you can drive by just fine, but if you want to able to drive safely you'll need your headlights on.

History
The Neighborhood is notorious for criminals living here, and despite the Smuggler's guild working out of the San Fernando Valey, Maywood is nicknamed Smuggler City.

Overtime the Gateway Cities have tried invading Maywood and forcing all the people to leave but were never successful, and decided on just letting Maywood be.
